• I thought the referee looked terrified throughout. The look on his face when he was called to the screen was one of someone being called into the boss's office without notice. (NT) -- old codger, Tuesday, May 19, 09:26:18am (86-3-237-96.pon.virginmedia.net/86.3.237.96)

• Absolutely incredible that it wasn't given, defies belief that these people that earn £70k to referee cannot call that as a penalty. (NT) -- Jim©, Tuesday, May 19, 09:38:44am (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)
  • ...and the Havertz foul last night was even more blatant, and the fact that VAR didn't even give it after a review suggests to me that there's something else going on with our refereeing/VAR reviewing. (NT) -- SCA, Tuesday, May 19, 09:57:35am (NoHost/2.123.71.86)
    • Sadly I have to agree, the system they've brought in only really allows for even more complacency/cheating (NT) -- Jim©, Wednesday, May 20, 01:06:43pm (62-64-192-58.virtual1.co.uk/62.64.192.58)

• Ref was dreadful, looked so scared about giving anything, I’m all for letting things go but he was missing such obvious fouls. The penalty he was looking right at it, only a couple of yards away, was incredible he didn’t give it live. Someone said this before, but thought the way we didn’t even really bother appealing or look that bothered reflected where our players and manager are at, half arsed and not committed at all.

• Agreed. It was as big a stonewaller as you are evr likely to see. If the refereer couldnt see that he shouldn't be out there. And it took CAR so long he must have been looking for any reason not to give it, as it was us. The referee seemed clueless, but we have to put up with these buffoons every wek. They clearly have an agenda against some clubs which don't fit paymaster Sky's preferences. (NT) -- Rupert, Tuesday, May 19, 11:37:00am (NoHost/90.193.225.167)

• I get the impression some referees see VAR as a safety net that means that they don't have to make big calls. Give a yellow and if a red VAR should correct it if you've cocked up (see Fulham v Bournemouth for example). (NT) -- Beano Reader, Tuesday, May 19, 11:47:02am (NoHost/82.132.239.10)

• Surely that was an out of control red card. Wouln't have made any difference mind. (NT) -- Alphonso the Incredible, Tuesday, May 19, 12:12:25pm (cust-51.179.203.26.cgn.as5482.net/51.179.203.26)
